The question that will be asked by the unsaved when Christ appears in the clouds of heaven, “Who is able to stand?” has been asked by many when Satan has caused them to doubt the possibility of their own salvation. The requirements seem too great. It is said of those who comprise the church triumphant that they are to be without “spot or wrinkle or any such thing; . . . holy and without blemish.” Eph. 5: 27. How can mortal man appear before God and have that said of him? The answer is found in Jude 24: “Now unto him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish in exceeding joy,” etc. No one is able of himself; but God is able to bring it to pass. In him is the requisite power and the willingness to perform.
